I try not to complain. But it can be very difficult to control what is an obvious addiction when you work at a good LGS.
As some of you know, as a retired ol' lawdog, my 'retirement job' is 3 days a week at a fairly large, well-established LGS. I've been doing pretty good controlling my addiction and withstanding temptation as it stares me in the face nearly each day I work.
Just told my wife last week when I took delivery of a nice M28 from a forum member here (thanks Ray!) that it was 'bittersweet', due to it being my 'last gun', for a long, long time. (she did just smile....)
Then today at work, fella comes in, tells owner he's 'gotta sell a dozen or so guns'. Guys and I go out to his vehicle, help unload the vehicle, bring in, clear and line up. Owner and he settle. Some nice Smiths in the group.
M57 4", M17 6" and a M14 6".
Word spreads quickly. M57 is sold before it can be logged in. I know another customer that will be coming in later to pick up a transfer. He is one of the no-budget guys that will buy any decent S&W he sees.
Figure if I'm ever gonna snag a M14, I better do it now. It's a 14-3, almost perfect, no box or papers.
Boss made me pay $350. (would've been happier with ~$300)
And I had been doing so good.
Much junk gets talked on the forums about LGS clerks. Try to remember it's not easy.
